DESCRIPTION:If you're up for a thought-provoking two and three-quarters hours that's 
 about ideas as much as fascinating historical figures, you'll be thrilled 
 by the intellectual panorama presented!\n\nIn 1879 a San Francisco 
 newspaperman and social philosopher proposed a revolutionary piece of 
 public policy to fix the glaring wealth divide in the United States. Treat 
 land values as community property. Within 10 years he had sold 3 million 
 copies of his book, upset the British Empire, run for mayor of New York 
 City as organized labor's champion, and engaged the Pope in public 
 discourse on the rights of humanity. I refer to Henry George, today buried 
 in the index of economic texts, but nevertheless deserving a 
 hearing.\n\nCome along on a walking tour surveying San Francisco social 
 movement history on the way to introducing you to America's antidote to the 
 Trump-cult, landlordism, and sham-in-ism . . . which is to explode binary 
 economic thinking, maintaining that the Earth constitutes a distinct third 
 leg in diagnosing the problem of the wealth divide.\n\nOn this fast-paced 
 walk, you'll meet the Black Panthers, the American Indian Movement, the 
 LGBTQ quest for full citizenship, the money reform dilemma, Sun Yat-sen and 
 China's democracy movement, and many more stories of those seeking 
 liberation in the distinctive San Francisco spirit that outrages 
 complacency.\n\nAlong the way we'll discover a way to honor labor, 
 humanity, and the quest for civic life.\n
